HOW CAN NIGERIA BECOME BETTER?

THE FARTHER AWAY "UPWARDS" FROM 50 A LEADER IS, THE LESSER THEY HAVE TO OFFER; THE FARTHER AWAY "DOWNWARDS" FROM 50 A LEADER IS, THE MORE THEY HAVE TO OFFER.


This is a motion I am proposing for a positive turn of events in Nigeria. Those who really realize the sore suffered as a nation and who really want positive change in the aspect of leadership and consequent positive development will perceive the subtle truth of the matter on ground.
The country called Nigeria is not lacking in intellectual and creative abilities, it does not lack skills, it does not lack resources (human and natural). We however, lack the bold resolve to properly harness our abilities and blessings into meaningful good.
Right through history, we have witnessed how "high and mighty" (who are usually the old class) have been controlling the affairs of the country. If for good, I will not say, but we know well how it feels. The country has been managed as though it could withstand tremendous pressure and with such cruelty that it becomes clear, an overall good is not sought after.
Misappropriation news is no longer new to us... We now know that public offices are avenues for making quick "personal" riches.
As a kid, you are told, "you are the leaders of tomorrow". At a point, one begins to wonder where the boundaries of "tomorrow" lies. Same faces still at the helm of our affairs which have never appreciated.
The latest we hear is falling standards in everything with the sprouting generation being blamed. What would you think is the cause 'naturally'? I think you only get what you are given, and these standards were handed to us by the 50 and above.
As a young and buoyant youth, your dream and struggle should be for a better functional society. The task is in your hands. Grab it...
Let us think.
